I work for a DME company and we often have times where the primary insurance does not consider the equipment reasonable and necessary, but the secondary plan will pay for it. We get the proper waiver on file to bill, but we often have a hard time getting the primary to deny with a PR denial code. Technically, we aren't trying to bill the patient - we simpley want to bypass the primary and bill the secondary payer. In these cases, is it appropriate to drop the balance to secondary when the primary denies with a CO code or is it required to have a PR denial?
